And after XCX comes out and we all played it... We can talk about the future of Xenoblade games. We really should have a discussion on what Monolith should do. I think they need to hire even more people. Takahashi and his team can continue his Xeno stories while a new director starts a new JRPG series for Nintendo. That way... Monolith can pump out at least 2 or 3 internally developed JRPGS for Nintendo a gen or something. It gets complicated though because Monolith ends up helping in games like Animal Crossing New Leaf and others. And Monolith helping other Nintendo games is totally fine. It's just... I want Monolith to at least push out another JRPG for Nintendo during gens. I keep saying JRPG because I want more of them for Nintendo. But if a squad within Monolith wants to work on bringing back a Ice Climbers game or whatever then that's fine too.

@TsunamiSensei: Nah, the PS Vita has had an amazing line-up this year. Granted, this will likely be its last great year, considering so much Japanese support is shifting to the PS4.
@whodatninja: @OmegaMetroid93: Thanks for the answers, that really helps. As long as I can still kill innocent people at some point, that system sounds much better than a karma one. It allows for grey morality (if your character cares that is lol). I think the narrative will decide my interest in the game.
@TsunamiSensei: Nah, the PS Vita has had an amazing third party line-up this year. Granted, this will likely be its last great year, considering so much Japanese support is shifting to the PS4.

There I fixed it for you.
To the bolded, does it really matter?
Now, I don't have a Vita, so I can't comment specifically on it's current situation, but if it has had let's say 10 amazing games this year (just as an example), what does it matter if they're all third party?
Is an amazing 3rd party game worth less than an amazing 1st party game? The way I see it, an amazing game is an amazing game, period.

It is more of the fact that Sony is treating it as the PSP was treated. Sony has given up on the Vita, I have one and I am disappointed that Sony won't make any more substantial titles themselves. With that in mind the Vita will flop worse than a World Soccer player. The last game that I can think of that Sony help publish and work on was Borderlands 2. Right now the Vita is just getting leftovers from the PS4 in terms of First party games and it upsets me.

The Monolith working on New Leaf and Splatoon isn't the same studio as the Monolith making Xenoblade and Project X Zone. The Kyoto-based division was founded specifically to aid development of EPD titles.
On a more related note.
I like how XCX combines the open world and character creation of Skyrim, the creative and memorable characters of Final Fantasy, and the ability to get your squad together and wreck stuff, to put it kindly, of Mass Effect
They both basically say the same thing, except the first one is an elaboration on the subject and the other one mentions the "verticality of the world", which is something I'm very excited about.
So yeah, they want to gradually easy you into things and give you more powerful tools as you move on rather than give you everything from the get-go. Makes sense to me.
And even after you have your skell, you still have the super weapons to work towards. I remember reading another article where Takahashi spoke very highly of the super weapons. They may just be a bigger deal than I initially thought.
Would it be possible for nintendo to bump this game up to November 20? just so they have a game for black Friday or should they keep the December 4th date

Monolith is pretty much Square Enix and Atlus rolled into one. Nintendo needs more studios like Monolith... Badly.

THey should definitely invest in more studios like them. Maybe find some of ex Bioware workers to have them form a new development team.
Anyone know of a video that shows off the difference of having the data packs? I've seen a dozen different playthroughs from people that have the Japan version but it's hard to tell if they have the packs or not. I just want to know if it makes a huge difference and worth the time downloading the nearly 15GB for the NA version.

I plan on just downloading the Digital pack that allows New Los Angeles to load faster because you go there often. I might also download a pack for which area I decide to grind in.

I'd personally like that. But I seriously doubt it's a move Nintendo would go for. The kinds of games Bioware make are reliable failures in Japan. They'd probably be wary of getting more franchises aimed solely at a western audience. They've already got Metroid which Japan doesn't care about. They've also been losing interest in Zelda in recent years. I think Nintendo will keep that sort of thing in mind.
I don't understand why the LE is so expensive compared to the standard version when all you get extra is a small artbook, a steelbook case and map. The US gets a way better edition and that's roughly the same price!
